The best little guy ever

Hi, let me introduce ourselves our names are Nelly Coones and Linda Marshall. We work at an Edmonton Public School as Educational Assistants. We want to tell you about the absolutely most humble, wonderful student we have the privilege of helping. His name is Ali Ahmadi and he is the physical embodiment of Tim McGraw’s song ‘Humble and Kind.’ He is 11 years old and in Grade 6. Ali is a kind, caring, with a fantastic sense of humor, and a overall great child. Everyone in our school of a 1000 students knows Ali. He has rockstar status in our school and not just because he has special needs. Ali is the oldest brother of three boys. Ali’s mom is from Afghanistan and his father is from Iran. Ali and his brothers were all born in Canada. Ali’s gentle, humble nature is a true reflection of his family.

Unfortunately, Ali has a horrible degenerative disease that affects all of his connective tissues. Connective tissues affects tendons, hearing, eyesight, and skeletal system and other things. The most wonderful part about Ali is he never lets his disease affect his mood, outlook or attitude. Ali is trapped in a wheelchair because he can no longer support his own weight due to his condition. His family is a wonderful and appreciative family. It is not easy for them. Dad gave up a great job with the government because he has to be home to help with Ali.

Ali has one living grandparent left his maternal grandmother. It would be great if we could fly his grandmother to Canada and see her grandson so she can enjoy Ali as much as we do. Because Ali is such a caring child he would want something his whole family could enjoy. What could be better than family for Christmas? I know this is a huge ask but, if you knew Ali like we do you would try to move heaven and earth for him too. In case this is mission impossible Ali really wants to go see an Oilers game.
